White Angel Eyes from Lux?

[panzerjager]

Hey,

Has anyone seen these LUX bright white angel eyes? NAMOTORSPORTS | LUX 4.0 and 5.0 In stock - $199.99 plus shipping! - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com

They look really nice and seem sufficiently bright even in bright sunlight.

Are they worth getting/easy to install (i.e. do you think SWC or any of the shops would be able to install it no problem?)

Group buy? hehe

Waiting for Kentonna to chime in. Read that none of the aftermarket bulbs are as bright as stock.

Stock is Best. Actually you can try the Duke Dynamics one. I heard that one damn good but gonna cost close to USD400.

".....angel eyes - toughest mod of all. A couple of choices. We can installed Brex system - not a simple bulb change (see URL link below). Or we could simply change the H8 bulbs. But do note that E92/3 runs on similar Angel Eyes system as the E39s, not the E46s. In the case of E46, we can retro-fit the AE rings with tiny flourescent tubes running through them (CCFLs). Those CCFLs produce uniform lights on the rings. Our current system has a flaw - no matter what kind of bulbs we change, the outer ring will be dimmer than the inner ring - the bulb socket sits behind the inner ring. I am currently running on PIAA H499 LED system - uniform lighting but not the brightest. I think LUX 5.0 is developing some system for E92/3s."

Let's see how the e92ers respond there.

PIAA is almost S$400, and I am not satisfied. But Lux is not exactly cheap..........

If it aint as bright as Shameless or Herman E46 then personally i would think no point changing. Stock ones still brighter. Need any brighter, leave the daytime running lights on.

The duke dynamics one looks bright but I dont think they're out yet.

Do you think installation will be a problem for the LUX though? Can our workshops do it?

Thanks for the reply Sliver.
It blink only when the engine start, so when u on the lights, it will not blink right? I was wondering what if u turn on the car using your remote (the light switch is on auto mode)? Normally the ring marker will light up when u use the remote to open the car door. Does it ring marker blink?
